This practical guidebook is written for graduate and post-doctoral students, as well as for experienced researchers new to neutron scattering. Introductory chapters summarize useful scattering formulas and describe the components of a spectrometer. The authors then discuss the resolution function and focusing effects. Simple examples of phonon and magnon measurements are presented. Important chapters cover spurious effects in inelastic and elastic measurements, and how to avoid them. The last chapter covers techniques for, and applications of, polarization analysis.

Intended as a reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students with a basic knowledge of physics, this text provides an introduction to neutron scattering. It explains how and why neutrons are used to reveal certain fundamental physical properties of solids, provides a guide to the methods and physical problems studied using thermal neutrons, and demonstrates how neutrons have contributed to some of the most recent experimental developments in solid state physics.

The late Professor Krivoglaz thoroughly revised and updated his classic two-volume book on this topic which serves as the finest possible testament to the pioneering work of a great scientist. He develops simple cases at the beginning and introduces complexity as required. The coverage of the scattering literature is thorough, and the crystallographer, condensed matter physicist, or materials scientist/chemist is almost certain to find his particular case treated in detail. The first volume presents the most thorough and detailed treatment we have of defects and imperfections in crystals. Included is an excellent pedagogical review of the kinematical theory. Throughout there is experimental comparison with defective crystals. For the latter part this volume provides an extraordinary guide to diffraction theory, useful likewise to senior researchers and newcomers to the field.

This graduate-level text reviews the field of critical phenomena, including the use of neutron scattering techniques as an aid in their study. The book introduces the principles of magnetic systems and their critical dynamics, outlining the experimental and theoretical methods that have been used to understand the scattering effect. Measurements are examined for the dynamics and statics of one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems. Multicritical effects, critical phase transitions in magnetic metals, dilution, percolation, and random-field effects are also discussed in the light of neutron scattering measurements.
